5x5 journey to incredible strength

[rustilldown]

Been pounding a serving of quickmass a day, and I feel like its making a tremendous difference. It's an additional 1010 calories pretty
Good calories too. I have a half serving in the morning and another at night. It's like a delicious treat lol

How you handling the extra carbs. Cuz it's like 150g carbs. Any added flab? I notice when my calories come from fat more than carbs, my gains are leaner.

 

[rustilldown]

I would say a little extra flab but I can use it anyways. I was lower carb before and higher fat so now I'm just medium fat medium carb. Well I probably take in about 250 grams of carbs 100-125 grams of fat and 250 protein roughly.
